I have no idea what phone to get so I thought I'd get some opinions.

I love the smallness of the 6111 but I love the big screen on the 6280, I can't make my mind up.

    of course 6280. 6111 just good looking, and that's all.

    That kinda why I like the 6111. The only thing thats stopping me getting it is the screen size.

    I have a 3230 and the 6111 screen is smaller, I'm kinda used the the bigger screen.

    look its down to your personal taste, I have a feeling your female and therefore treat buying a mobile in much the same way as buying a car, looks and colour will therefore be the priority.

    good luck

    I might be female but that doesn't mean I think that because it's pink its better, I want a good phone that looks nice. So most blokes don't want that then?

    All I'm looking for is peoples opinions about the two phones.

    If youy are not going to use 6280 as a smartfone (TV / high Res Video / Big Screen) then its worth getting 6111 for your basic needs and being compact. I hope you are getting 6111 cheaper than 6280.

    :rolleyes: Angelsue kinda gives it away and presuming you are a bloke you maybe never clicked to the feminine username:p

    I have the 6270 and the 6111 they are both essentially the same phone apart from the screen and camera and the 6270 isnt too far off the 6280 and i much prefer the 6111 as my main phone as at the end of the day its a phone to make calls and take the odd piccie and send a few texts. The size of the 6270/6280 does make a differance and feels much bulkier in the pocket and the 6270 can be a little bulky when sending texts.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    The 6280 is a smart phone? I thought it was just a normal phone.

    I've had smart phones for the past three years and don't want another.

    As I'm upgrading I can have either for free.

    Sorry not exactly a smart phone, but still way more features than 6111.
    - Video Calls
    - 2 MP Camera
    - MiniSD card support

    Its definately worth more than 6111, if you looking to resell it.
    If its for your own use then its your choice.

    Thanks for the replies. I think I'll go for the 6111 because its smaller, I'm sure I'll get used to the smaller screen size.
